Kimber, I am one of these (foolish) people who spent US$35K on a watch - telling myself I was being practical (because the "jewellery" was also serving a purpose). Well, I soon learnt my lesson - the bejeweled watch stays in the safe
@texasgirliegirl and I were discussing the now generation and their use of tech devices to tell time instead of watches. These "Sweet Alhambra Watches" are totally impractical for me
Totally liked @jssl1688 's suggestion of no timepiece and 3 each of Stone/All Gold/Pave.
Hadassa,
I totally agree about the "watch" theory going on -- especially with the younger generation. Although I have to say my husband has a nice collection of watches and he never wears his anymore either (either do I).......
BTW -- which VCA watch did you buy? I think they are beautiful but just not for me. But again that Lapis sweet Alhambra watch is killing me. I hope I do not have a soft day in the near future.
Here are photos from my SA
I think the lapis is so pretty but I can’t get over the asymmetry

Thank you for the photos
The asymmetric quality is what I love
Kimber, I bought a Chopard Imperiale in RG and Diamonds. I reach for my Cartier Roadster in SS and Baignoire in YG more.
I don’t own any VCA watches [emoji20]
My husband’s collection includes one for every day of the week [emoji12]
I also love watches, and definitely blingy, but for watches I do stick with watch specialists - I have two Rolexes (SS/pink mop/diamonds and yg/white mop/diamonds) and would like a pg - either Daytona or pearl master or the Cartier Ballon Bleu.
These are really really pretty I just wish they were bracelets.
I do too!!
In fact, the two vintage (or are they actually sweets?) motifs on the right balance the larger watch face on the left imo.
The design makes sense to me and i really do love the watches.
I do not love the price.
My sentiments exactly! I prefer nowadays to stick to what houses are known for: VCA is for jewelry in my silly opinion. I don't have a problem spending money on a watch if it's from a well known watch house. I wish these weren't watches!
I saw this watch on Instagram and fell in love 
Cosmos secret watch. Looks like a beautiful flower on your wrist. I can only imagine the price point!!
I find the sweet watches are growing on me. I have dreamed of new turquoise pieces for years now, but feel my favourite is the lapis lazuli. The price point is out of my league as there are too many other pieces I want. However I can't wait to see some reveals here!!

They're really pushing the watches this year. Every VCA post I've seen on Instagram lately has been a watch.
The current watch focus is probably due to the big SIHH event taking place in Geneva right now.

I am so in love with this cosmos watch too... it’s so so beautiful as a piece of jewelery, be it a watch or not.
I am someone who still prefers checking my watches for time instead of fishing out my phone from my bag. I am not too particular about just sticking with watch house watches nowadays. In fact, I get more joy wearing my vintage alhambra watch and hermes double tour cape cod even though they are not ‘serious watches’. I love the hermes watch for its fun interchangeable double straps and the VA watch for its unique bezel shape (instead of the usual round or rectangular shapes)
I hope someone here gets this beautiful cosmos watch... it’s so elegant on the wrist!
